The voting on Facebook continues through Catholic Schools Week. I am told that SNA is currently in first place. A vote may be cast each day so please keep the votes for SNA coming. Votes can be placed at facebook.com/mycatholicschool.
We are still in need of workers for our last XU game on Wednesday January 26th. Workers are needed no later 5-5:15 on the 26th and can be 16years of age or older. Please help us by contacting Courtney Booher at
ckbooher@yahoo.com 257-5043 or Paul DiMario at

Interim Reports will be sent home with students on Friday and are a reflection of progress since the report cards were sent home in November. If you have questions please contact your student’s teacher. We will have another round of conferences on Thursday February 17th.
A list of the events to happen during Catholic Schools Week is part of the packet today along with several other areas of interest. As usual it will be a very fun week.
Since the board meeting was rescheduled from last night there will be a short delay in sending home the registration packets and tuition information for the 2011 school year.
There is a general PTO meeting this evening at 7:00 P.M. in the cafeteria. If you attend your children may be out of uniform on Thursday.
Sincerely,
Gerard K. Myers
